That many conservatives line up behind this belief system helps explain why our 2 dominant political parties are more alike than different.fordmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971108560921372854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988575875388913383.post-72055206596795608112012-01-27T13:02:34.962-05:002012-01-27T13:02:34.962-05:00Great post.

Though I sympathize with your position, I do think that many people who advocate the second belief system do so out of a sense of fairness. For instance, I have had a few discussions with friends in which John Rawls's thought experiment 'the veil of ignorance' was explained to people who had never herd it (I have a couple of friends with philosophy degrees). In these discussions I found that even conservatives had a hard time arguing against the fairness of distributing wealth and power when they put themselves behind the veil. Though I personally have some major issues with this sort of philosophy, I bring it up because I do think that many liberals use a similar kind of thought process.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629120523831489730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988575875388913383.post-31720922464515467392012-01-26T19:23:27.582-05:002012-01-26T19:23:27.582-05:00Chase was certainly on the 'rejection' sid...Chase was certainly on the 'rejection' side of the quote and supported 'New Deal' ideologies.dgeorge12358https://www.blogger.com/profile/09065054826503451247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988575875388913383.post-78783407452685768662012-01-26T17:36:46.109-05:002012-01-26T17:36:46.109-05:00If u know who this guy was, then this seems an iro...If u know who this guy was, then this seems an ironic quote.fordmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971108560921372854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988575875388913383.post-27632324883606859972012-01-26T17:28:56.572-05:002012-01-26T17:28:56.572-05:00Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, o...Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.<br /> ~Stuart Chasedgeorge12358https://www.blogger.com/profile/09065054826503451247noreply@blogger.com
